Description
War has been perhaps the greatest force shaping the history of civilization and culture for over five thousand years. This book considers numerous main themes associated with the impact war has had on society over the vast period of antiquity, from the first city-states of Mesopotamia to the fall of the Roman Empire, with a concentration in Greco-Roman civilization. Contributors examine Class, Race, and Gender; Immigration and Integration; Religion; Environment; Culture of War: High and Popular, Civil War and Ethnic Cleansing; Confidence Game: Intelligence, Deception and Subterfuge; and Ritual, Commemoration, and Memory.
A Cultural History of War is part of The Cultural Histories Series. Titles are available as hardcover sets for libraries needing just one subject or preferring a tangible reference for their shelves or as part of a fully-searchable digital library. The digital product is available to institutions by annual subscription or on perpetual access via www.bloomsburyculturalhistory.com.
